Thanksgiving

For those who aren't in Fairbanks, we have enjoyed a WHOLE week off from school due to an ice storm.  Warm weather plus moisture has created a lot of rain, icy roads, and closed schools.  All of us are enjoying the week off! 

We have a lot to be thankful for!  As I've posted, our biggest relief was for tests to show our air was within normal boundaries. I can't say that we are noticing any real improvements yet but that will take time.  However, we are noticing that a few direct symptoms have been reduced.  For example, since I cleared the mildewed closet shelf out of our bedroom, my headaches have been minor.  I normally get a few headaches with weather changes but I haven't been getting any headaches other than that!  The indirect symptoms of mold toxicity will take time but at least we are on the path to healing. 

We are thankful for Andrea Fabry's website that has been so helpful for Leila.  Leila was just this morning watching a video on healthy cooking related to mold recovery.  There is so much there.

We are thankful for all the people who assisted us in various ways this summer. Thanks to those who helped with our house and in other ways!  Your support has been appreciated.

We are thankful for Arny's job at the University. The position has the flexibility for Arny to be availability to help Leila when she isn't feeling good and when Arny isn't doing well.

We are thankful for our family!  This week has been fun so far and it is a reminder of the blessing of a family.

We are thankful to God for providing for our needs and getting us through this year.  There are many challenges facing us next year and we look forward to how God will deliver us.

Mr. Smiley, the melting snowman.  He was quite cheery but now he is less pleased with the warm weather and rain.  A vacation in Antarctica may be just the thing he needs!
